Replacement of dund in Intrepid ?

Asked by Lorenco Trichardt

In Intrepid Bluez are now on version 4.

I always used dund to connect my Palm (Treo) to sync vie bluetooth.

This is no longer there. I can not find any (let alone) good documentation on the new bluetooth stack. Can anyone point me in the right direction

I use to call
"dund --nodetach --listen --persist --msdun call dun"

/etc/ppp/peers/dun content:
115200
10.0.1.8:10.0.1.40
local
ms-dns 127.0.0.1
noauth
debug

Anybody know how I can do this with the new bluetooth stack ?

I wouldn't call this an answer necessary, I'm in your boat... spent 4 hours on it already, but you helped me by showing me to run dund manually (instead of enabling from /etc/default/bluetooth).

Partial answer:
apt-get install bluez-compat

I'm able to run:
dund --nodetach --listen --persist --msdun call treo

In my case I'm trying to hotsync my Palm Treo:
pilot-xfer -p net:any -l

Then start "HotSync" on my Treo.

It WORKED!

But what is the "replacement" to dund in Bluez4 ?

I'd like to know the same.

I found:
http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-bluetooth-commits/2008-September/000264.html

Excerpt:
    Starting with this version the remaining external daemons are replaced by
    + hcid plugins, thus pand/dund/hidd are gone.
    + See /etc/bluetooth/main.conf for disabling plugins.

But how are the plugins enabled and used?

Also note that the link above (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PalmBluetoothHowto) refers to config file hcid.conf which doesn't exist anymore.

I'm just going to have to run dund each time (and remember to ip_forward = 1)

As for me - this worked:

~# apt-get install bluez-compat

~# sdptool add --channel=11 DUN

Channel 11 is important here.

~# dund --nodetach --listen --persist --channel 11 call dun

Now I was able to connect with my Nokia n810 over BT to my Desktop.

Without channel 11 I was getting in dmesg:

hci_acldata_packet: hci0 ACL packet for unknown connection handle 11
